Grooming is a well-recognized, multipurpose, behavior in arthropods and vertebrates. In this paper, we review the literature to highlight the physical function, neurophysiological mechanisms, and role that grooming plays in insect defense against pathogenic infection. The intricate relationships between the physical, neurological and immunological mechanisms of grooming are discussed to illustrate the importance of this behavior when examining the ecology of insect-pathogen interactions.
梳理行为在节肢动物和脊椎动物中是一种广为人知的多用途行为。在本文中,我们回顾文献以突出梳理行为在昆虫抵御病原体感染方面所发挥的生理功能、神经生理机制及作用。我们还将讨论梳理行为的生理、神经和免疫机制之间的复杂关系,以阐明在研究昆虫与病原体相互作用的生态学过程中这种行为的重要性。
